Weather: Hang on, help is on the way

First, the yuck: The National Weather Service says showers are likely Thursday up to 11 p.m. There is a 70 percent chance of rain Thursday and a 60 percent chance Thursday night.

Expect a high temperature of 63 degrees and a low of 53.

But just in time for the weekend: Friday ought to be partly sunny with a high temperature in the upper 60s. Saturday and Sunday should dawn bright and sunny and ought to stay that way. The temperature each day should be in the 70s.
